Robiland, I hope you were being sarcastic. What group did they 'give in to' in order to create the initial Wasatch Front area? To the statewide hunt?
What group did they 'give in to' last year making Emigration Canyon and City Creek Canyon archery only? Call Unified and ask the Canyon Patrol commander what group causes more calls to them? It definitely is NOT rifle hunters firing near houses.
Call the DWR and ask their officers what type of hunting creates the most complaints on the Front? I'll give you a hint-it's not you or me, but it is others in our 'minority'.
Heck, just ask me, a dedicated hunter who enjoys using all weapons, how many ARCHERS have tried telling me that it is closed to muzzy hunting on the north side of I-80? Two I think were genuinely misinformed. The third was deliberately trying to lead me astray. Hey buddy, if you are on here, I heard every word you said to your friend at the trailhead.......
We get what we deserve on the Front, IMHO. The shenanigans will cause us to lose a great opportunity found nowhere else.
We need to stop fighting each other, or we will lose opportunity across the board. Because non-hunters don't see bow, or rifle, or muzzleloader. They just see hunters behaving badly, and reflects on us all!
